Verse 1

Under the dog-star sail 
Over the reefs of moonshine 
Under the skies of fall
North-north-west, the stones of Faroe 
Under the Arctic fire 
Over the seas of silence 
Hauling on frozen ropes 
For all my days remaining 
Would north be true? 

Verse 2

All colours bleed to red 
Asleep on the ocean's bed 
Drifting in empty seas 
For all my days remaining 
Would north be true? 
Why should I,
Why should I cry for you? 
Dark angels follow me 
Over a godless sea 
Mountains of endless falling 
For all my days remaining 
What would be true? 

Bridge

Sometimes I see your face,  
The stars seem to lose their place  
Why must I think of you?  
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you? 
Why would you want me to? 
What would it mean to say, 
"I loved you in my fashion"? 
What would be true? 
Why should I,
Why should I cry for you?
Why should I cry?...
